Please Explain to a Newly Inducted "Old Fart"

[Annik]

Around here, "hipster" implies not only cool and trendy, but also that "I'm so cool and trendy I was doing it before it was cool and trendy, and certainly before you."

The "Hipster" style does have that kind of cultural attitude connected to it, yes.

Hipster = going through a homeless person's shopping car and wearing their clothes.

Scene = going on weheartit and copying the colors and symbols into your clothing palette.

Emo = Look like an over-made up version of Panic! at the Disco.

I think I got it.

I'd say you have at that.

I'll stick with Audrey Hepburn as my style icon.

Hey...did we ever do that here? Talk about our style icons? Does anyone else have a person/persons they look up to for style choices? David and I have this conversation all the time.

You should make a thread.

So what constitutes "a scene" though - is it like 'the grunge scene' or 'the goth scene' - something complete with its own music and style?

[Autumnlicious]

Scene, in what I understood, merely designated the culture and over all appearance (like the scene evoked by a short grassland to denote a prairie).

When I made the title, I did it for you, Min - honest truth. I was typing it and smiling wolfishly and just WAITING for your answer.

We genuine old farts have to protect the franchise.


Damn. I miss Padraic.

I was actually passed that by ungodlyfossil as a joke and it's part of what started my frustration - there was no clear indication of what separated those people from the rest of the weirdo herd except arbitrary names...

Kinda like Atheism+? hehe.
